Arrival & Dismissal

School Hours: 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.

Saint John's School of Little Canada historically has been on a rotating busing system; currently we partner with Roseville School District for this important service. Our busing partnerships help define our school hours.

Entry to the school is always and only through the Circle Drive and Gathering Space. Doors open promptly at 8:40 a.m., and classes begin at 9 a.m. Students who arrive unexcused after 9 a.m. will be marked tardy. 

Students are dismissed through the Gathering Space at 3:00 p.m..   Half-day dismissal occurs at 12:10 p.m.; please note that no lunch is served on half days. See more about Car Line arrival and dismissal policies at the link below. 

Due to the partnership with Roseville Area School District, many of Saint John's School cancellations or delays take a nod from that busing system. Principal Hurley makes cancellation decisions by 5:30 a.m., and posts announcements to the website, as well as Facebook and a parent email network.

In case of emergency or severe weather, please listen to WCCO (AM 830), watch WCCO-TV or visit the WCCO school closings webpage for school closings. No announcement means that school is in session. Please note: Saint John's School might be closed even though Roseville School District is open. In that situation, Saint John's will be specifically named on the radio or TV. All other times, we are considered to be part of the Roseville School District closings.
